Ask HN: Is Facebook selling phone number or can it be scraped?

I have a dummy Facebook account, with the name Brooklyn. I added my cell phone number to test some projects.<p>Due to Facebook's security changes, one of the defaults was that the number is public and searchable, which I did not change.<p>Recently I am getting text messages sent to 'Brooklyn'- which would only be from the fake Facebook account I set up.<p>Is Facebook selling my information, or can someone scrape my cell phone information?
